Tesco express one here just got refurbed... they were messing with all of the pumps. Perhaps a new law regarding the measurement of pump delivery? Either that or they're installing more accurate pumps to clamp down on us getting free fuel

Go and drive it.

You get a bad vibe from the guy, he dodges questions, you don't like the sound of the engine. Don't buy.

Let thy heart decide (as well as the kickdown) .

Mileage doesn't matter if it's been looked after. Plenty of people on here have 100-200k mileage cars with low bills (yes it shocked me too).

Only way to tell would be inspecting the log book and seeing what's been changed? And how regularly it was done... I'm sure some of the people familiar with the engine here could tell you some signs to look out for.

I just paid £9700 for my import . That looks like a proper import though (all jap stuff) - Could you live with the GPS etc in Japanese? From what I hear the stock GPS isn't that good anyway (no postcode entry).

The Japanese service history would turn me off - But that's a lot of car for not a lot of money. Also there's no GT options on that, surely you can find a UK one for similar price?

The trip box is smooth as butter though, and kick down is nice.

If you can't find a decent import and can settle for manual... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

I'm in Cheam itself .

Unfortunately my mod plans are now on hold... as it looks like business is taking me away from London at the end of the year. . Needless to say she will be sold is all goes through before Jan.

I shall make the most of the next few months and if it doesn't work out I'll get to keep the zed, so it's win win!

06 Plate GT import with 33k

Tarmac Sports - Putting your ideas down in rubber

Sweet... I might as well kill two birds with one stone then. Paying £250 to get some bodywork touched up there, most likely can waggle a free exhaust install from John, he seemed like nice guy on the phone.

as i know u live close to me, there is a place in croydon that were pretty good and sorted out my scorpion. (cant remember the name but will find out.)

 

also there is a VERY small indy in mitcham, near the green. he's called Keith and is a grumpy sod but good at his job. he will fit you in im sure. has ramps and has worked on my mates Zed. he sorted my Mrs clio and was good. again i will find out the name and tel number for you.

Is it JD motors by any chance for the Croydon place? I've heard good things about them... and they're in my lineup for body repair.

The anticipation of owning the 350 is killing me. It's exactly 11 days today

downpipe?turbo?

or have you bought manifolds?(expensive to fit)

as for kwikfit

Sorry... meant mid pipe

I've been eyeing Abbey up since I got on here, it's a nice little drive from me through country... so at least I'd have fun getting there and back .

It's also just occured to me... that despite not taking delivery of it yet, I've managed spec around £600 worth of mods?!?!

At the end of the month, I'll be grabbing the scorpion exhaust with downpipe for my Z.

I know the job is easy, but I also know removing bolts etc can prove hard without fire. I think it would be much easier to toss it on a ramp, and work with room!

Can anyone recommend places in Surrey where I can get the exhaust fitted for cheap? Even for the price of a case of beer!

I'm somewhat reluctant to let KwikFit touch the defenceless zed .

Reason for sale out of interest?

Rob's and 350z's will rule the world .

Welcome!

Mine is Z33... but imported by Nissan UK, so thus not considered an import .

Mine is the only one I've seen with that history though... Can't say I'm a fan of the stickers on that!

The roof and windscreen looks pretty however.

if auto IMPORT

If auto = Kickdown = Grin Inducer

Square number plate is a good first indicator...

Lack of Cruise Control

Lack of steering wheel buttons

Power button next to the handbrake labelled SNOW / AC / POWER

Biggest one of all, trip trans (I love it)

Two weeks today I take delivery of my ZED...

In true zed style, I've already planned some minor modifications:

Scorpion Exhaust

Pop Charger

Once she gets her respray (just some touch up for scuffs), I shall put up some pics

I really want to keep most of it stock, is it not a beautiful car as it is?

Even better...

NISSAN 350Z GT COUPE

3499cc, 2 door, 2003 - 2007, Petrol, Manual

Not the right vehicle?

We've found your vehicle and think it:

Is right-hand drive

Is a saloon

Has 5 seats

Is not imported

Has Thatcham-approved category 1 alarm and immobiliser

I suppose you could fit 3 in the boot...

Ebay... 3M Matt Black vinyl (£14 for 1.5m x 50 CM), exactly what I'll be doing to mine soon.

If that doesn't work I'll sand / paint but makes more sense to do a no damage repair first.

Are they not changing the dock connector? Rendering everyone's ICE installations useless?

I have an Alpine INE-S900R, it's awesome.

Fully installed with handsfree, and iPod integration to the storage hole behind the handbrake.

Just down the road then I have a foam lance, 2 buckets with grit guards, Bh clay, Ag srp, poor boys natural interior paste, symbol wax and loads of other jazz. I have a huge drive if you wanna come over clean I should have the car by Friday so will commence cleaning then as I have the day off.

This just makes me sad.

My little Z doesn't arrive until 28th September... . If I had it, I would most certainly take you up on that though, got a fair bit of cleaning gear myself, luckily my interior is already spotless!

I'm in Cheam buddy. I'm going to be doing some work on my car (first time too), don't have a paint gauge... but need to get a minor section of bumper resprayed so I will ask nicely at the garage to borrow it and gauge the main areas of my car .

Mine has never been polished, so I'm certain the paint is in fine condition (2006) and should have a sufficient coating.

There are plenty of tutorials online, I recommend the ChemicalGuys videos on youtube, really good instruction from start to finish including pads you need etc.

If this was 20 days down the line I'd say yes... just about to get my DA at end of the month .

It will also be getting a seeing to on my new 350z! Have you looked at the paintwork and confirmed it actually has swirls etc?

Josh, do you have a direct link to the one you got? Was it the 3" for the Z?

I'm curious about installing one of these... would people on the forum be able to help fit it, or am I looking at a professional shop like h-dev who specialise in 350z's?

If I had an Ace Torch and welder I would tackle it myself .
